Join us in this Magical Moment of the Our Daily Magic Podcast(LIVE from the Facebook Group and Youtube) with "I am Magickai" aka Kaí and Dell Henderson aka "The True Essence Connector" as they interview Arianna Holiday.
Singer, songwriter, and creative genius Arianna Holiday asked the Universe for an opportunity to change the world. She never expected that opportunity would come in the form of a brain tumor - that she diagnosed herself.
Arianna is a strong Italian woman who always dreamed of becoming a famous singer. She felt her calling so strong that she never created a “plan B” - until her health took a drastic turn.
Doctors dismissed her as she searched for answers. Determined to feel better, Arianna spent years studying nutrition, functional movement, body image, and holistic health. For the second time in her life, she felt a calling. This time, to become Coach Ari.
Evaluating 12 different areas of health, she believes health is more than calories and cardio. Arianna knows all too well that body image is a critical component to a successful health journey. “Poor body image influences poor decisions.”
After addressing her own body image, Arianna went back to the place she felt at home - the stage. A regular at the karaoke bars, Arianna had left her dream of a singing career behind - until her health took another turn.
As her symptoms returned, the medical system continued to fail her. Completely depleted, she tried one last time. Arianna walked into her new OBGYN’s office and stated, “I have a brain tumor. Please scan my brain.” Not only did she diagnose herself, she accurately pinpointed the location which was soon confirmed by an MRI.
Her body exhausted, Arianna had new physical limitations. Once again, she turned back to music as she prepared for brain surgery.
She wrote her first single, “I AM THE STORM,” which features the production of Kurt from The Lost Order. The song is an anthem for those who have ever thought they wouldn’t make it - or had someone else declare they wouldn’t make it.
